Glad you guys both liked it. Dustin, I was in your boat for awhile — I kept hearing about Ajax, but until I found how easy it was to use in Dreamweaver, I just put it on the backburner. At first, it didn’t even feel like there were big Dreamweaver changes for CS3 until I looked more closely at Spry. I’m glad to see that Adobe is really on the ball with development for Ajax. You can learn some more about what they’re up to with Spry in the Adobe Labs: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/

Patrick, there are some cool examples in the Adobe Labs link above, but I really like this demo from ASP.net best: http://ajax.asp.net/ajaxtoolkit/Accordion/Accordion.aspx It gives you a good sense of just how lightning fast this functionality is. Click the links on the dark blue bars to watch how the accordion panels work — this is something you can implement in seconds w/Spry in Dreamweaver.

Cool article. If it’s not too much trouble, would you mind putting up a demo so we can see how this looks?

Great article, very informative overview of the spry framework. I have been putting off taking a look at it but I think this is going to give me the proper push to dive on in.
